Around 10.45 a.m. on Thursday, police were alerted to a reckless driver on the A31 motorway in the direction of France. People also reported seeing a gun in said car.
A police patrol finally identified the vehicle and its three passengers near the Aire de Berchem in the direction of Luxembourg City. The car drove significantly above the speed limit while trying to avoid the police. After losing sight of the car for a brief period, the police found them anew near the Cessange intersection on the A3 motorway. The driver continued speeding, until he eventually lost control.
The car collided with another vehicle and thrust both of them against the crash barrier. The three people inside the fugitive car remained all unharmed and were thus detained by the police. Officers found an airgun inside the vehicle. A short investigation revealed that the vehicle in question, which is registered in France, used Luxembourgish number plates that were caught during the prior evening. Further reports came in, which noted that the passengers of the car were already seen stealing petrol at a Dudelange gas station. On top of that, the driver was already serving a ban.
The police confiscated the vehicle and fined the driver by order of the prosecutor’s office. The passenger of the other car involved in the accident suffered minor injuries and was brought to a hospital.
Around 11.30 p.m. on Thursday, the police stopped a car for reckless driving on the A4 motorway near Foetz. The alcohol test came back positive and the driving license was revoked. The same happened to another drunk driver half an hour earlier near Rameldange.
In Luxembourg City, a man tried overtaking a police car on Boulevard Charles Marx. He was stopped and tested positive for alcohol, for which he was fined. The final incident of the night occurred shortly before 2 a.m. in Rue Adolphe Fischer, where another driver was found to be intoxicated. He also lost his license.
